About
Neighbor to the beautiful Ravine State Gardens, Palatka Golf Club offers a game that is as scenic as it is entertaining. Designed by Donald Ross in 1925, the golf course was created with all skill levels of golfers in mind. The layout is player friendly, but there are still many challenging elements to keep golfers on their toes, including Ross' signature "turtleback" greens. There are also numerous bunkers fiercely guarding the greens. The signature hole of the course is the par-3 third. This 188-yard hole is a test of accuracy, requiring a difficult tee shot to a well bunkered green. Palatka Golf Club also offers a unique aqua driving range for golfers to use.

Definition of a country course
I walked off after 7 holes, the conditions were absolutely horrendous. Honestly not worth the price for what you get, drive to St. John’s county and pay a little extra for a decent course. The tee boxes swallowed my golf ball and the greens were so furry. I guess good course to get drunk and mess around but don’t recommend.
Course was in good shape. Staff was great. Will definitely play here again. Good value for the price.
Great time
The course was in pretty good shape the weather was great the greens had good speed no problem. The only thing scares me is hitting down on a green with a tee box so close
Poor layout
Friendly staff. Nice views. Course layout is very tight. The driving range balls end up all over the fairway on one of the holes. The tee boxes are located just previous holes green impeding the pace of play.
Fun course
This is fun track to play with some challenging tee shots and smaller greens. I was surprised at how good the greens, bunkers and fairways were throughout the course. Staff was really nice!
MUST PLAY coures
Designed by Donald Ross -- brilliant even though it has changed over time like all Ross courses. All holes are a challenge and have something in store for you as a defense -- bunker guarding, yes, water, yes, trees, yes, narrow fairways, yes. Nothing unfair about it. Course hosts tournaments and hosted us too. You just must play this course -- Donald Ross calls you from the past.
Not bad if you’re in the area
Glad to check a historic Fl course off the list. Greens in good shape but very slow and not much undulation. Palatka is a hike for me, so I probably wouldn’t play here again unless in the area
Country Boy course
Do you like to play in a cow pasture? If so DON’T play here!!!! This is a good ole boy country course….they even give you range ball in a grocery sack. Classy!!! LOL BTW The staff is rude. They seem to be bothered by patrons.
Postage stamp greens, in very good condition made approach shots to be precise
undulating greens also made putting a challenge
Like the layout of the course with it's hilly fairways
Good value
Good value for the price. Small greens in good condition, rough is kind of weedy. Good target golf.
Awesome place
I have only played 8 or so courses in the area and I can say with confidence that this is the nicest course I’ve played so far. A lot of different layouts through the 18 holes and every one of the greens and fairways were in great condition.
Need a little love
The tee boxes could use some TLC. Greens in pretty good condition. Pete Dys postage style greens
Great course
Very nice course. Challenging with many greens protected by bunkers. Greens and fairways in great shape.
